Isolation, Writing task

This story is another writing task that we got to write about. This writing isn't about what's happening right now, it's just the name of the picture.








It is one misty morning, in the middle of the Malering River. Standing on her porch, Ashley drew breath. As the clean, cool air filled her lungs, a smile spread across her face, as she happily took a sip of her hot cup of goodness. Slightly, the sun peaks through the mist, when it hits high above the horizon. Ashley looked down at her reflection in the tranquil water, that is still as a statue, and thought “how did I get here?”. Then she goes and makes her another cup of coffee.

The solitary brick house is a one bedroom and a small kitchen home. Ashley can’t go anywhere because dangerous ominous sharks that surround her house 24/7! Poor Ashley can’t swim either, so she’s like a marker, and the house is like paper, she is permanently stuck there! 

During the day, Ashley cleans her cramped little house and watches tv (that is very slow because of the internet). She also likes to sit on the edge of the rock that the house relaxes on like a bird on a tree branch. On the rock Ashley watches the hungry sharks ferociously circle around her abandoned home.
Ashley has to take it easy with the food, because she can’t go shopping or anything! There is also nobody living on the islands on either side of the house. So for breakfast Ashley has a muesli bar, for lunch she has 1 apple, finally for dinner she has 2 different kinds of vegetables mixed together. Everyday!!

  1. Ka pai Leilani, I love the way you set the scene at the start of your writing. It feels like I'm there. I thought my internet was bad sometimes but it sounds even worse in this house! Do you have any favourite authors who have inspired you?

    1. I like the Geronimo Stilton books too. Especially the way he uses calligrams all the time. Do you know what they are? My favourite author is Terry Pratchett. He has done some great books for children like Wintersmith and The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents.
